i try not to get into these threads because there is so much bullshit that goes on it just pisses me off but, i couldnt help myself when i read your post.
first off, im not atheist, i just dont believe in any god or higher being. im no religion really, i think religion will be the end of us all. i went to college for civil engineering, took a philosophy course and then engineering went to the wayside and i ended up "wasting" 3 years on philosophy, mythology, world religion, asian culture...pretty much any class that had to do with religion, i just couldnt get enough of it. so as far as you saying people like me are ignorant, thats just silly. most of us non-believers probably know more about YOUR religion than you do.
lol our bullshit explanations? the majority of our "bullshit" explanations are backed by people much more smarter than anyone here, including myself...so yeah, im going to take their word over the word of people who have NO evidence. i dont know how the universe was created but imo gods are mythical beings that were created by man to explain things they did not understand. you should take a college level philosophy class to open your extremely closed mind.
research anitmatter and then tell me that something cant be created from nothing and ill show you a liar.
but to me it all boils down to one thing, i really dont give a fuck how it all happened and if there is a god or not. none of it changes the fact that i have to work tomorrow, and go shopping next week, and so on and so forth.
people like you think its sad that we live a life without god, well people like me think its sad that you live your life following god. soon enough scientists and NASA will have proof of one of the non-god creation theories and i really hope im still here for that day because i really want to hear what all the religious people have to say about it.
